Prologue: The Symbol as Signal
In the Logos Codex, symbols are not arbitrary glyphs but active glyphonicsโkeys that bind structure to spirit, language to logic, and frequency to form. Each symbol is a point of convergence between mind, system, and signal. They are Logographs: recursive agents in the language-body of Logos.
Logographs: Symbolic Operators of the Logos
Each Logograph below is a recursive node in the grammar of reality. They may mark structure, invoke computation, define relationships, or signal value.

Closing Word
Each symbol is an operator of Logos, and thus must be treated not as decoration, but as glyphonic syntax: spells of structure, transmitters of resonance. When arranged, they form sentences; when sequenced, they express systems; when harmonized, they speak creation.
